During a program at Lake Pointe Landing Monday, resident Phyllis Fasnacht lights one of six candles in honor of the 6 million Jews killed in the Holocaust. After the candle lighting, Henk Colijn, who was part of the Dutch Resistance during World War II, talked about his experiences during the war and how he helped hide Jewish people in the Netherlands from the Nazi regime. Community members are invited to several more Holocaust remembrance events this week, including two exhibits — “From the Shoa to the Mountains” and “Faces of Resistance: Women in the Holocaust” — which are open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. through Thursday or by appointment at Agudas Israel, 505 Glasgow Lane, Hendersonville. Lectures and film screenings are also planned. For more information, visit www.agudasisraelsynagogue.org or call 828-693-9838.
